Saint-Saens, Camille was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Saint-Saens, Camille and Piano Concertos (Aldo Ciccolini, Orchestre de Paris, Serge Baudo) CD1 together. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Saint-Saens, Camille energies, virtually a rebirth. Lead single “Concerto pour Piano No.1 in D major op.17 - Andante - Allegro assai” and “Concerto pour Piano No.1 in D major op.17 - Andante sostenuto quasi adagio” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Smart music for smart people.
The sound in Concerto pour Piano No.1 in D major op.17 - Andante sostenuto quasi adagio is really warm and Saint-Saens, Camille’s signature voice is still very much present. Concerto pour Piano No.1 in D major op.17 - Allegro con fuoco is a cool, simple song by Saint-Saens, Camille at the top of his game. Put Concerto pour Piano No.2 in G minor op.22 - Andante sostenuto into car stereo for your highway driving Concerto pour Piano No.2 in G minor op.22 - Allegro scherzando is just simply stunning. Concerto pour Piano No.2 in G minor op.22 - Presto is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Concerto pour Piano No.4 in C minor op.44 - Allegro moderato - Andante is astounding. Concerto pour Piano No.4 in C minor op.44 - Allegro vivace - Andante - Allegro has a fun tempo.
